Journal Guide

The aim is to publish research of the highest quality and of lasting significance on the mechanics of solids. The scope is broad, from fundamental concepts in mechanics to the analysis of novel phenomena and applications. Solids are interpreted broadly to include both hard and soft materials as well as natural and synthetic structures. The approach can be theoretical, experimental or computational.This research activity sits within engineering science and the allied areas of applied mathematics, materials science, bio-mechanics, applied physics, and geophysics.The Journal was founded in 1952 by Rodney Hill, who was its Editor-in-Chief until 1968. The topics of interest to the Journal evolve with developments in the subject but its basic ethos remains the same: to publish research of the highest quality relating to the mechanics of solids. Thus, emphasis is placed on the development of fundamental concepts of mechanics and novel applications of these concepts based on theoretical, experimental or computational approaches, drawing upon the various branches of engineering science and the allied areas within applied mathematics, materials science, structural engineering, applied physics, and geophysics.The main purpose of the Journal is to foster scientific understanding of the processes of deformation and mechanical failure of all solid materials, both technological and natural, and the connections between these processes and their underlying physical mechanisms. In this sense, the content of the Journal should reflect the current state of the discipline in analysis, experimental observation, and numerical simulation. In the interest of achieving this goal, authors are encouraged to consider the significance of their contributions for the field of mechanics and the implications of their results, in addition to describing the details of their work.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Kinematics and Physics of Celestial Bodies is concerned with the physical, integral properties of celestial bodies, kinematic astronomy and its base, astrometry. The journal publishes original and review papers on such topics as: Positional and theoretical astronomy; Earth's rotation and geodynamics; Dynamics and physics of bodies of the Solar System; Solar physics; Physics of stars and the interstellar medium; Structure and dynamics of the Galaxy; Extragalactic astronomy; Atmospheric optics and astronomical climate; Instruments and devices; Databases and more. The journal places an emphasis on structure and dynamics of the Galaxy, as well as on extragalactic astronomy. This journal is as much devoted to astronomical data, methods, and theoretical foundations for their collection, as it is to constructing dynamic and physical models for their interpretation. The journal is published under the auspices of the Division of Physics and Astronomy of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

Langmuir focuses on the science and engineering of systems and materials in which the interface dominates structure and function. Manuscript submissions on the rational design of interfaces, including new applied and fundamental concepts in emerging areas, are welcome.

The following topics are examples within the scope of Langmuir:

• Polymer interfaces and films
• Adsorption, wetting, adhesion, and dynamics
• Membranes and biofouling
• Surfactants, emulsions, microemulsions, vesicles, suspensions, foams, and gels
• Fundamental theory and computations of interfacial properties
• Droplets and their dynamics
• Active and adaptive colloids and nanoparticles, self-assembly
• Drug delivery, nanomedicine, carriers, targeting, uptake and controlled release
• Advances in surface/interface characterization techniques
• MOFs, COFs, zeolites, and other porous materials
• Sensors and biosensors
• Rheology, mechanics, and non-equilibrium thermodynamics
• Van der Waals materials (1D, 2D, 3D and layered)
• Interfaces for sustainability and energy
• Electrochemistry, heterogeneous catalysis, photocatalysis
• Single molecule, single atom catalysts and particle dynamics under confinement

Reviewers of Langmuir manuscripts will be asked the following questions.

• Does the manuscript report original and significant findings in interface science and engineering?
• Are the claims adequately supported with appropriate data, control experiments, and statistics?
• What are the strengths and weaknesses of the work?
